BRING BACK BORSTAL EPISODE 2

Yet another episode of this intriguing but totally inaccurate portrayal of borstal as it was. Again so far removed from the reality as it can be. Amazing that the producers and the programme head Professor Wilson are using this to try and persuade MoJ to bring borstal back – having said that some of Graylings initiatives are in the same crazy category so who knows what will happen. Perhaps fortunate that we have an election soon and hope upon hope we get a Government which cares about people rather than profits, so no Grayling.
Going back to the borstal theme though they are part of history and need to remain there along with the old detention centres.
The whole penal system needs radical reform but before that’s even considered our attitude as a society towards offenders needs to change drastically.
